Cultural Training (Wii Nsastamaageng) 

The Cultural Training office researches, develops and delivers cultural awareness of Sault Tribe Anishnaabe Bimaadiziwin, Ojibwe Customs & Teachings and presentations that emphasize  historical/cultural contributions.  The Cultural Training office consults with Tribal programs, committees and tribal members to promote Anishinaabe culture throughout the tribal community.

By providing understanding, the office can revitalize and restore Anishnaabemowin (Language) and Anishinaabe Bimaadziwin (Our Way of Life).  Curriculum lessons use basic Ojibwe Language in an effort to increase daily usage, for conversations and ceremonial use.  Ojibwe Customs & Teachings are experienced through teaching circles and demonstrations.  Also, the history is delivered from a Native Perspective vs. Euro-Western Perspective.

The purpose of training is to enhance the identity of our people by providing them an opportunity to learn and live our unique culture today, tomorrow and the next seven generations.  By providing understanding to the community members (native and non-native) with the information about who we are, they can assist others heal and grow in the knowledge, culture,  and spirituality of Bahweting Anishinaabe (People at the Rapids).
